The UK-based report "presents a series of case studies that illustrate how individuals and groups undertake creative activities outside of formal arts settings and how their creative lives bridge ‘everyday’ non-funded arts activities, publicly funded arts and the commercial culture sector." The report further underscores that only 8% of survey respondents – the "wealthiest, whitest and most formally educated" – regularly interacted with publicly funded art. A more robust approach, suggest report co-authors Nick Wilson and Jonathan Gross, would reposition the cultural policy agenda to take into account issues of parity and fairness.

Pursuant to this, the researchers conclude with 14 recommendations – the primary goal of which is "to make promoting cultural capabilities for everyone" a policy objective not only for those organizations which administer public funding, but also those that receive it.
